Boost your job prospects! Learn how to tailor your CV to match job requirements and stand out from the competition.
Careers New Zealand:
The number of applications for job openings is said to have risen, and so with more competition, it’s more important than ever for your CV to quickly and clearly tell an employer why you are right for the job.
Tip: Make sure the wording in your CV matches the job you are applying for.
Update your CV for each job application – check the job ad (and description if they supply one) for what skills and experience are needed and making sure you use the same keywords in your CV.
Highlight why you fit the job you are applying for – you might need to change the wording of your personal statement, or re-order your skills list so the top ones match the job.
